Due to the configuration of the redistribution structure 100, a routing function is provided to the package structure 10. The redistribution structure 100 is referred as a back-side redistribution structure of the integrated circuit component 200A, for example.

Referring to FIG. 2, an insulating encapsulation 210 is formed over the carrier C (e.g., on the insulating layer IN) to encapsulate the integrated circuit component 200A and the conductive pillars CP. In other words, the integrated circuit component 200A and the conductive pillars CP are covered by and embedded in the insulating encapsulation 210.

Due to the size differences between the signal connecting vias 152, the ground connecting vias 154, and the power connecting via 156, the contact pads 130 corresponding to the signal connecting vias 152, the ground connecting vias 154, and the power connecting via 156 also have different sizes.

Due to the above configuration, the power loss and/or the reflected power of the package structure 10 are reduced, thereby protecting active circuits of the package structure 10 and achieving a low power consumption. In addition, due to the size R152 of the signal connecting vias 152 is less than the size R156 of the power connecting via 156, an overall area of the package structure 10 is reduced.
